Coventry promoted to Premier League

After 25 years of waiting, Coventry are back in the Premier League. The English club officially validated its rise this Friday evening following its draw against Blackburn (1-1). With this result, Frank Lampard’s men can no longer be joined by Milwall, third and Championship play-off with 73 points.

Coventry will have three more matches to secure the championship title, which is no longer in doubt. With 86 points, the leader already has a comfortable cushion of 11 points ahead of second-placed Ipswich. As a reminder, Frank Lampard was appointed last season as head of the club, then 17th in the Championship.
